There seems to be a major flaw in the Democratic Socialists of America’s Platform. On one hand they want to provide all these free products and services and on the other hand they want to get rid of all the millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires. The oddest thing about this is that the socialists promoting these giveaways and “down with the rich” agendas are millionaires themselves, or what I call limousine socialists. These limousine socialists fly from event to event in private jets and many own multiple multimillion dollar homes.
These clowns promise all this free stuff, the government takeover of private property, the government takeover of the largest successful businesses, and preach that profit making is in some way evil. It seems that these limousine socialists are totally ignorant of the reality that millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires, whether individuals or corporations, provide at least 95% of all government income tax revenue. No one in the mainstream media ever asks the follow up question, what happens if the socialists get rid of the millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires, who will provide the funding for all the giveaways that the socialists propose? Follow up questions can be a #!
The inability to answer that question is exactly why socialism has failed throughout history every where and every time it has been tried. Then, of course, the millionaire limousine socialist elites never seem to give up their millionaire lifestyle. Odd, isn’t it? Socialism for thee, but not for me. They themselves are the oligarchs they seem to rail against.
Who are the people now supporting socialism today? Other than the long-time misguided communist Baby Boomers, it is the victims of the American public indoctrination system, formerly known as the American education system. For five decades, the emphasis on education and critical thinking morphed into an indoctrinations system of what to think, not how to think. In 2026, America is paying the price of decades for neglect of the public education system, and a dear price it is.
The Democratic Socialists of America and their allies, the Islamists, have gotten a toehold in American politics. Are we going to allow them to get a foothold in the American government? I certainly hope not, but we will see on November 3, 2026.
